It was warehouse fires, a worldwide bad harvest, and three years of surplus beforehand, which had led to fewer acres planted. We do not have such a perfect storm now. New brewery owner? Sure, worry. Craft beer drinker? Plenty of options, relax.﻿

The new visitor center is a beauty -- great view, and a rare chance to see inside a column still -- and the whiskey is the genuine article. This shouldn't be just a stop on your tour; it's a pilgrimage to a shrine.

Andrew Craven worked with me when I contacted him with my interest in homeowner's insurance. He was persistent, but not annoying, during the sales phase, and gave me information, not pressure. When I had questions, he got me answers promptly and accurately. When there was one small problem, he fixed it, again, promptly and accurately. We've only been with him for two weeks, but things have gone very well so far, and we're quite pleased. Saved about 15%, too.
